DUDES! DUDES! DUDES! This is for you all, yo~!

I was digging up old files from AMNOS.net when I viewed the content of one of my old mySQL databases that I downloaded for safekeeping and backup. The data that I viewed were content from my first few visitors who visited the first version of the site and left comments in a guestbook that I designed and installed (I even forgot the guestbook script too, but I remembered that it was also a Japanese-made guestbook script). There were two or three visitors who happen to be Japanese dudes (kinda weird, one of them wrote in not-too-fluent English but understandable enough, two of them wrote in Japanese) who actually asked me if I knew the process of becoming a Johnny’s idol. I was a total noob fan of Johnny’s back then, but I did some extensive research and asked a few friends who are general Johnny’s fans if they knew the process. I was able to actually aided those guys, though I’m not quite sure how old they really were.

So for those dudes who wishes for love of the female mass, here is a comprehensive guide that I was able to dig up. I don’t know if this process is still intact today, but keep in mind that the following process was effective back in 2002.

While writing out my Koizora review and talking to my friend about cellphone novels (keitai shousetsu if you prefer the Japanese), I stumbled upon this particular site that provides cellphone novel writing services for English speakers. I had a slight look-around of this particular site but I still haven’t signed up for an account yet. Nevertheless, the name of the first English-language keitai shousetsu service is TextNovel.

• Quirky Sidenote: Currently talking to a very good friend whom I haven't spoken for awhile. He actually knows more about Koizora than I do...

Last night, Denise showed me a one-shot Arashi fanfic featuring the dear leader, Satoshi Ohno. For those who follow her LJ frequently, you should know the fanfic that I’m referring to. Unfortunately she had to start all over because somehow the format of her fanfic got screwed up somewhere while we were going through some basic editing and proofreading (for grammar, spelling, etc.). But never fret, folks, the fanfic will be back up again.

I will be honest. This is another thing that I do not miss during the J-Pop/Drama fan days (to be more specific, Johnny’s and Arashi). It cringes me big time whenever I hear about these rumors being spread out, thanks to the notorious types of publications known as Friday and Bubka. To be more specific, it’s not the rumor itself that cringes me. It’s the reactions from the public that cringes me, most especially the notorious fan girls who feel they should kill themselves or abolish their absolute loyalty to their favorite idol once they hear this particular rumor, scandal, whatever.

Plot:
An all-girls high school became an integrated co-ed school, allowing a first batch of boys from its brother (all-boys) private school to be admitted as a trial run. Unfortunately, the boys the school admitted were far from what the girls expected from the good-for-nothings to the rejects of the youth’s society. As a result, one particular class collaborated a program that would reform these boys from total rejects to noble princes, but as expected, it would take more than just convincing for the plan to work.
